Horror Morrow, W. C.: A Night with Death and other Tales of the Macabre. v1. 21 Feb 2021February 20, 2021 at 10:58 PM An extensive collection of stories from a dark imagination
A few are touched with the supernatural, some cross into weird fiction, but even the non-genre tales are imbued with grisly ghastliness to make your flesh creep.
===========
William Chambers Morrow (7 July 1854 3 April 1923) was an American writer, now noted mainly for his short stories of horror and suspense. He is probably best known for the much-anthologized story His Unconquerable Enemy (1889), about the implacable revenge of ...Tags: Books, Usa, Kindle Books, Morrow, Ambrose Bierce, William Chambers Morrow 82 people like this.

Like Kobo ebook not showing up in Mac FinderFebruary 20, 2021 at 11:40 PM Hello, everyone. I connected my Kobo Libra H2o to my Mac (Catalina) via USB cable, planning to drag a new ebook (purchased from Kobo) from the Finder into Calibre. The newly purchased book does NOT show up in the Finder. If I click the Device icon in Calibre (5.11) to view my Kobo books I do see the book listed. I have done this with other books without any trouble. Am I missing a step? Could this book be stored on the Kobo somewhere OTHER THAN the main memory? Any help appreciated. Thx.

So in the last few days I made a big leap forward in my Kobo hacking and connected mines to my Rasberry Pi's serial port. Now I could mod the device as I wanted, installing a new OS if I wanted, and have full control over it. So far I've successfully installed some Linux distros in there, such as Alpine Linux 3.13, Debian 6/7/8.
However, to make them run, I had to recompile the kernel because some crucial features weren't there (e.g. cgroups for Debian 8 w/ systemd).
